Hm, making Christian the BDFL-delegate would mean two out of three authors *and* the BDFL-delegate all working for Red Hat, which clearly has a stake (and IIUC has already committed to this approach ahead of PEP approval). SO then it would look like this is just rubber-stamping Red Hat's internal decision process (if it's a process -- sounds more like an accident :-).
So, Alex, do you want to approve this PEP?
I haven't read this thread until now. Independently from your objection I have raised the same concern with Nick today. I'd be willing to BDFL the PEP but I'd rather have somebody outside of Red Hat.
Likewise, but the intersection between "wants to get PEP 476 into the hands of as many system operators as possible as soon as possible", "is a CPython core developer", and "doesn't work for Red Hat" is looking to be a rather select group :)
Right, with Antoine and Alex out of scope and you, Victor and me working for Red Hat, the air is getting thin. Benjamin is familiar with the ssl module. Or we can follow Alex's advice and ask somebody from the PyCA group (Donald, Paul, lvh) or requests (Cory) to get some outside perspective.
Under normal circumstances I'd probably be willing to do it even though I have doubts about the value of it. However, I'm less than two weeks away from closing on a house and will be moving into it after that, so my time is very limited right now. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
